National Instruments NI CVS-1450 Series User Manual

© National Instruments Corporation

This chapter describes the primary functions of the digital inputs and 
outputs on the NI CVS-1450 device. This chapter also includes guidelines 
for connecting the digital I/O and for setting up a typical CVS-1450 device.

The digital I/O functions are accessible through 2 TTL inputs, 10 TTL 
outputs, 13 isolated inputs, and 4 isolated outputs.

You can use input signals as triggers, product selection ports, or to read 
quadrature encoders. Uses for output signals include controlling camera 
reset and exposure, controlling strobe lighting, outputting inspection 
results, or communicating with PLCs. You can also define the functions of 
digital input and output signals. 

For information about how to use the LabVIEW Real-Time Module to 
implement specific digital I/O functions, refer to the application software
